[quote=\"Shanan\"]Can anyone advise me: my daugther is now in p1 but for her chinese class she goes to 1.6 instead of her own class why and purpose? While some other goes to 1.3, what is the differences?

My daughter is also in 1.6. The school actually \"test\" the kids to see their level of Chinese to split them accordingly. My daughter was ask to a few questions and to translate some things from English to Mandarin. This is the norm for APS. The P1 is assess this way, but P2 onwards will be based on the previous year results.

Hi mommies, I am new here. Am curious to know about the splitting of chinese class too. Didn't know about this till I came to read this thread and found out my boy also been put into class 1.6 for his chinese. Does any of the mommy here knows the differences for class 1.6?[/quote]Hi

I have emailed my boy's mother tougue teacher on this asking why my boy has to go 1.6 class for his mother tougue. She mentioned this has been start during the term 2. She said 1.1 class is for more outstanding express students. Students in this class are more express learning and however teachers teaching will also express to accomodates their learning skills. For class 1.6, according to MOE, students who pick up slow and teachers needs steps by steps guides to teach them in order to make sure they able to absorb their teaching.

Separately, there is also another class for those students facing bigger problems on understanding. These are those students who don't have mandarain family backgrounds, teachers will pay more attention to them by giving them extra effort and steps to cope them.

All primary school in Singapore has follow this streaming to guide the students more carefully in order to achieve better results in their education.

Hope this explanation helps
